What is the Laurel Club?

The Laurel Club was an organization of Connecticut legislative reporters established in 1909. It was formed “To foster cooperation among legislative newspapermen; to promote better government by accurate and fearless reporting; to puncture the overinflated egos of legislators.”

Joel Kleinman, a 64 year old Meriden resident was killed Saturday afternoon after a fire broke out at his home. Kleinman was the managing editor of the American Radio Relay League’s monthly magazine, QST. Prior to QST, he worked for ARRL, ham radio’s national organization. Our condolences go out to his friends, family and coworkers. To see more click here.
